A bleak day

One of those days

pushing my bike down the lane

too tired to ride

too anxious to leave it behind

I was going "home"

a loose name for a rented contract

a temporary occupation

which is only a legal alias for a room to sleep,shower,cook and live (although the "living"is optional and I opted out)

held together by ink and a landlord

We relocate, we return, but never to the same THERE ,but to a new HERE

I wonder how many others are currently

negotiating the weight of their own bones

considering the sweet silent collapse

Falling down

Withdrawing intention from the muscles

Do we need a raison dˋêtre to move

Or do we only walk because we haven’t yet found

the permission to stay?

Sometimes things seem futile and lackluster and I think too much and act too little to change that.
